Published 3 years, 5 months ago
Description
Award winning poet, Jennifer Sutherland, re-enters the Garden to go over Christmas. We discuss the Solstice, the bringing of the light, Baldar, Yule. Mithras, Saturnalia, and more. A full history of the many traditions that led to the current version of Christmas. We visit upon the Elves and Fae Folk. Dark elves, light elves, big elves, small elves, leprechauns, you name it. What's with goats? How are the indo Europeans involved? Bael? Dionysus? St. Nicholas? And what is Krampus? If it's a somewhat darker side of Christmas, we've got you covered in the canopy of the mistletoe covered Garden of Doom. Leave your honey porridge and goat's milk, if you dare.
